In fact I believe the first female soloist to have a #1 album was Connie Francis, with 20 All Time Greats in 1977.

Steps - Stomp was fairly typical of the sound of its time, it just got to #1 because it was released in a relatively quiet week.

Records relating to Most Simultaneous Hits As Lead Artist will not be broken due to 3-tracks rule. 2000's record for Most #1 Singles In A Calendar Year (42 new #1s) is unlikely to be surpassed due to longer runs at #1.

Which will be exactly the same chart that they did last year.

Bon Jovi - It's My Life mentions My Way by Frank Sinatra.

Zayn may or may not be the 'My Ex' in Little Mix's Shout Out To My Ex.

The Stranglers - Golden Brown

That 2002 chart was the last chart show that Mark Goodier presented back in the day. Spookily both the 1992 and 2002 charts featured a dance cover of a Bryan Adams track (Rage in 1992, DJ Sammy in 2002).

Thanks for hosting, Mangø, and congrats to Jim and dandy*.

Joss Stone Daniel Bedingfield

Supertramp - Breakfast In America and No Doubt - Don't Speak.

Thanks for hosting, Mangø, and congrats dandy*!

Congrats Mack., and thanks for hosting Dan!

I believe X Factor Finalists 2010 (which had significant physical sales) were initially announced as #18, then revised to #22. 4 May 2002 initially had Faithless - One Step Too Far listed twice. The lower entry was subsequently removed.

Thanks for hosting, Mangø, and congrats Jim!
